I think this is is the equivalent of

rrdtool fetch test1.rrd AVERAGE --start 0 --end 0

If so: there are two problems with this command:
1: You cannot start and end at the same time (there's nothing to graph)
2: 0 could mean several things.

0 is the equivalent of januari 1st 1970 00:00 UTC. (0 seconds since the
epoch).  It might also be (not sure) an abbreviation of "00:00" which
would mean "midnight today".

Use "--start end-24h --end now" and try again.

That (graph) is strange.  graph and fetch use the same parts of the
program so in theory the same options should produce the same error.

Perhaps there's a discrepancy between RRDs and rrdtool ?
